Sounds Like San Diego: December 15

It's hump day and what better way than to spend it with legendary rocker Billy Idol? He's performing at the House of Blues tonight, and since his last few tours have only hit the casinos, it's a good chance for you to catch him in a relatively intimate space.

If you'd rather hit a local show tonight, you might want to check out the Mattson 2 over at El Dorado, Behind the Wagon at Bar Pink, or check out Klub Isolation's new digs over at the Til Two Club. Whatever you choose, there are lots of great options to get you over the hump.
